AI Strategy

Turning AI Potential into Measurable Value

Gartner Predicts 30% of Generative AI Projects Will Be Abandoned After Proof of Concept By End of 2025 At least 30% of generative AI (GenAI) projects will be abandoned after proof of concept by the end of 2025, due to poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs or unclear business value, according to Gartner, Inc.

At Verged, we believe these failures aren’t inevitable — they’re avoidable with the right strategy in place. An AI initiative should start with a clear understanding of where it can create measurable business impact, how it will be governed, and the roadmap to get from vision to sustained value.

Our AI Strategy service ensures your investments are targeted, compliant, and scalable so your projects don’t stall at the proof-of-concept stage, but instead deliver lasting competitive advantage.

Our Approach

Every successful AI transformation starts with a clear, actionable plan. We don’t just hand over a generic framework — we work with you to design a tailored AI roadmap that fits your business model, customer needs, and operational reality.

From identifying the right opportunities to embedding governance and selecting scalable technology, our approach is holistic and outcome-focused. It ensures that AI becomes a sustainable driver of customer engagement, not just a one-off innovation project.

Our methodology bridges the gap between vision and execution — giving you early wins, measurable progress, and a foundation for long-term impact.

Capability Assessment

A successful AI strategy starts with a clear understanding of your current state. We assess your customer engagement processes, technology stack, and data readiness to establish a solid baseline.

We identify strengths to leverage, gaps to close, and integration opportunities that will help AI fit naturally into existing workflows — ensuring your strategy is grounded in reality, not assumptions.

Opportunity Identification

Not every process or touchpoint benefits equally from AI. We help you pinpoint the high-impact areas where AI can deliver tangible, measurable results — such as:

  • Improving response times
  • Enabling deeper personalization
  • Automating complex workflows

By aligning these opportunities with your strategic priorities, we make sure AI is a core driver of business outcomes rather than a side project.

Business Case Development

AI investment needs clear, evidence-based justification. We create a business case that outlines projected ROI, success metrics, and alignment with organizational objectives.

This enables you to secure stakeholder buy-in and funding with confidence, supported by solid data and realistic performance expectations.

Roadmap & Prioritization

An effective roadmap balances ambition with practicality. We sequence initiatives to deliver early wins – building momentum – while laying the foundation for long-term scalability.

Our prioritization process helps you reduce operational disruption and focus resources on the initiatives with the greatest business impact.

Risk Awareness & Governance

From day one, we address regulatory, ethical, and operational risks. By embedding governance into your AI strategy, you reduce compliance headaches and build trust with customers, regulators, and partners.

Our governance framework covers:

  • Risk identification
  • Policy design
  • Continuous monitoring

This ensures your AI initiatives remain safe, sustainable, and trusted.

Technology Selection Guidance

Choosing the wrong technology can derail even the best strategy. We guide you in selecting solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems and scale as your needs evolve.

Our vendor-neutral approach ensures you get tools that fit your goals, budget, and operational constraints — not a one-size-fits-all package.

AI Governance

Responsible AI adoption is no longer optional — it’s a competitive advantage.

Our AI Governance framework helps you meet regulatory requirements, reduce risk, and embed ethical guardrails into every stage of your AI journey.
